Hey People!
I've recently started brewing all grain and making starters and all, and I think I have made a huge and stupid mistake.
I basically made a 3.5L starter for a lager, and I accidentally let some of the burnt crud on the pan which I boiled my DME into the flask when pouring the wort.
I'm guessing the crud was years of burnt grease sitting on the outside of the pan.
I then pitched the yeast (WLP830) into the wort, and now here we are, with black flecks of crud swirling in my starter.
Am I screwed, and do I have to make another starter?
P.S.: Please help, I'm really anxious now hahaha.
